Rebecca Ferguson- Nothing’s Real But Love

Rebecca Ferguson came by the Shazam studio for an exclusive performance of ‘Nothing’s Real But Love’ from her brand new album ‘Heaven’. The album does not pander to fashion; it’s not a hybrid of every current hip music genre, shaken around a bit and mixed into an amorphous lump. This is soul; raw emotion pours out of every fibre of every note making her pop rivals sound predictable and ordinary.

Created over the last 11 months, the album is highly accomplished and timeless piece of work. From the sweet pared back piano led ‘Teach Me How To Be Loved’ to the 100 miles a minute ‘Backtrack’ with its fierce drum beats, to the big band sound of ‘Fairytale’, Rebecca’s voice soars effortlessly. And if ‘Shoulder To Shoulder’ doesn’t make you cry then there must be androids amongst us.

On her single ‘Nothing’s Real But Love’ Rebecca states “No money, no car, can beat love” as what’s really important in life.

Incredibly humble, but with an eye trained firmly on the future, her potential is vast. She comments “I am very proud of this album. It wasn’t easy to write and I poured that much of myself into it that if people don’t like it, it’ll be hard; but I’ll take that on the chin. As long as people can say ‘I believed what she was saying, that’s the ultimate.”
